Chapter 471:- Nine Tailed Fox Core [I]

The bidding reached a crescendo with an assertive voice calling out, "1 million and 4 hundred thousand royal gold coins..." The room fell into a stunned silence, the bid echoing through the chambers. Many of the guests exchanged astonished glances, for such a sum was beyond their reach. It was a considerable fortune, especially for those on the first floor, who lacked the support of powerful factions.

Sakura, sensing the hesitation in the room, let her eyes wander languidly over the crowd, her lips curving into a tantalizing smile. Her voice, dripping with honeyed temptation, called out, "Is there anyone else, my dear guests, brave enough to challenge this magnificent bid?" She paused, allowing her words to linger in the air, her eyes gleaming with a seductive spark. "This Moonshade Herb, a rarity that dances under the moon's caress, awaits its worthy master. Who will claim it?"

The silence held, the audience entranced by her allure yet unable to meet the towering bid.
